If you hook an Apple TV (or similar) up to any 4k TV, and turn CEC on (to let the Apple TV control it), and never set it up otherwise, it becomes a dumb monitor.

I got a degree in mechanical engineering. There's these two technicians under me that for years I thought we just hired off the street and maybe they graduated high school. I have to show them how to use terminal. I have to show them

They were asking why the two deepest holes, despite being nowhere near each other, dug decades apart, are 99.3% of 12km and 99.5% of 12km respectively. Was BP symbolically honoring the russian scientists? Does the earth have an extremely un

If the trick were genuinely useful, and was well circulated months ago, the resource-starved inference providers would have squeezed this trick dry already, instead of wasting 60% of their tokens, waiting for users to implement it themselve

Step back and think about it another way - ask which scenario is more likely: Some random person discovered a 60% across the board gain in all LLMs, using an extremely simple trick that none of the labs noticed in all these years. That tric

it's spelled "comms" although that is still jargon and the actual headline is "contact"

As long as we're nitpicking every sense of the word "own", the strongest legal sense means you're the copyright holder, and every sense downstream of that is some lesser license. Buying a disc is a license to view the in

How does a 120 page book contain 100,000 Whys? That's 833 Whys per page.

I don't understand why it exists at all to be honest. You can buy 4x $20 or a $100 Xbox/PS5 Store gift card at the grocery store, which redeems for any game.

It's a weird editorial choise to call them insurance and fees in the headline. Usually only the extortioner uses euphemisms. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protection_racket

My comment was "if every hospital had one" rather than "if 50k hospitals had one" but either way, the math gets to the order of magnitude stated. Nitpicking how much buffer they gave themselves for cleaning doesn't

Do you need the math typed out?

No, you stand there for 60 seconds. If every hospital had one, even if they sat idle 90% of the day, thats enough to hit that target.

Neutral observer here. A reasonable reply would have been "Good point, maybe "real wind physics" wasn't the best headline" and move on with your day. Not everything has to bruise ones ego and turn into a sarcasm spi

If Google Photos gave me my photos in one go, exactly as they are in the app, I'd gladly pay $5. As it stands, they offer "Takeout" for free. This process gives you hundreds of zip files with the photos distributed into deep

I loved Mathematica. I was so sad about having to use Python math packages in industry.

SF's insane electricity prices are the sole reason I bought a Honda Civic Hybrid instead of a Tesla Model 3. They both cost 12 cents per mile here, so it was just the mild hassle of charging that tipped it out of favor. If I lived some

In irons should be a slightly negative number, since the wind drags the boat backwards at that point. Plus it will force the player to tack back and forth, which is a fun part of sailing. I bet A.I. can tell you the angle the sail ought to

I like him too. I only see him on the all-in podcast, though. The headline apparently refers to the White House's recent desire to add a government vetting process to new models, whereas he wants less regulation. If you click into the
